Solve a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube step by step

 Here’s a simple beginner-friendly formula set to solve a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube step by step 👇


🧩 Basic Notation (Important first)

Each move refers to rotating a face:

  • R = Right

  • L = Left

  • U = Up

  • D = Down

  • F = Front

  • B = Back

  • ' (prime) = anticlockwise

  • 2 = double turn


🪜 Step-by-Step Method (Layer by Layer)

✅ Step 1: Make White Cross

👉 No fixed formula — just intuition

  • Match white edges with center colors


✅ Step 2: Solve White Corners

Use this formula repeatedly:

👉 Formula:

R' D' R D

Repeat until corner is placed correctly.


✅ Step 3: Solve Middle Layer Edges

Case 1: Move edge to the RIGHT

U R U' R' U' F' U F

Case 2: Move edge to the LEFT

U' L' U L U F U' F'

✅ Step 4: Make Yellow Cross

👉 Formula:

F R U R' U' F'

Repeat until yellow cross appears.


✅ Step 5: Solve Yellow Corners (Position)

U R U' L' U R' U' L

✅ Step 6: Orient Yellow Corners

👉 Formula:

R' D' R D

(Do for each corner without rotating whole cube)


✅ Step 7: Permute Last Layer Edges

👉 Formula:

F2 U L R' F2 L' R U F2
